lvextend - don't show the extension in bdf

[KonradFL]

Hallo All

I'm a rookie and have an 'special' behavor from HP-UX:

I tried to extend a lvol and it seams, that all is fine, but the command bdf don't show the new size. What can be missing in my work?

*SERVER-1*:/# uname -a

*SERVER-1*:/# swlist -l product | grep -i online
  OnlineJFS             B.11.11.03.03  Online features of the VxFS File System


Bevore the extend-command:
********************************

Then the work
***********************

You extended the logical volume (LV) but you did not extend the file system afterwards.

You now need to do:

# fsadm -b 40000m /oracle/oradata/INEX

If that fails, then you likely do not have Online JFS installed on your system.  In that case you will have to unmount the file system and run an 'extendfs' command to extend it, then remount.  This would require your Oracle DB to be shut down though.

<shut down Oracle>

# umount /oracle /oradata/INEX

# extendfs /dev/vg11/rlv_INEX

# mount /oracle/oradata/INEX

<restart Oracle>

Once either the 'fsadm' or the 'extendfs' has been done, you can now run 'bdf' to check the new size.
